All I have to say is...Kathleen, love the orange highlights emover. My RockBand 1 and 2 rocker has black emover with orange highlights (so pissed they got rid of the highlights in 3). If I could get my hair to do that, I would.

Loved the change of pace, but not sure if I would like this as a permanent thing, since part of the appeal of the old format is its resemblance a to a real news, and the formal sense of professionalism that entails, juxtaposed to the levity even absurdity of the subject matter. I think this would work better as an occasional thing.(not-so-crazy idea: what if you guys got a second team to do the newsroom bi-weekly, and went back to making ENN a weekly thing)

ENNN > ENNIt seems like less formatting yields more time for jokes. Also the comedy feels more raw - which makes it funnier. Sometimes when something is too planned out and rehearsed it looses comedic power.

As others have commented, it's like a cross between PhailHaüs and ENN... Love it! Would very much like to see more of this style (though the newsdesk style is also good - maybe the two kinds should alternate?)

I don't know, originally, ENN was very straight-faced with a lot of hidden sarcasm, then it became more overt with the reactionary sarcasm, and now it seems it's nothing but the reactionary sarcasm... the show hasn't gone in the direction I'd prefer but you guys are still funny so... I guess I'll shut up now

That was awesome. I don't quite know why, but having you make up jokes on the spot and seeing the rest of the members laugh and praise your hilarity makes me laugh even harder. Its like on SNL when one actor is overly funny and all the others have to fight the laughter. Its not planned, it shows the actors find the material funny, and its funny to watch their faces. You guys are awesome in your videos, and for each of you, there are only certain situations I can think of that's funnier than watching you enjoy making comedy videos. That's when Graham is afraid of the Creepy Dolls, Paul is doing science, Kathleen is talking about her cats, and Jeremy is being Jeremy Michaels.

Karloff:ENNteresting. I'm not 100% sold on it, but the format change was a nice break.

Now you've said it, I can see Barometry Wars working as a concept. You play a god with power over the weather. Your worshippers provide you with Mana, which power your abilities. You use your abilities to generate useful weather, pleasing the worshippers and hopefully increasing your Mana base. Civilization without the Civ, I suppose. Of course, in the multiplayer your fellow gods have the option of sending bad weather your way, which you have to counter, but the conflicting weather patterns could create unpredictable backlash effects . . . and here comes a hurricane to ruin everyone's day.

Having said that however, I like the new format. But I think for how it conducts itself, it's natural home would be as an audio podcast. Round table discussion, with each persons take on news stories, works best in a live environment.

Also you could tell us what you're going to be discussing via twitter or facebook, and pick the funniest comments from the community. I'd love to hare what they would have come up with for the Pac-man reality TV show.
